Changelog — GameDay Analytics

changed

Leaner odds refresh schedule

Odds now refresh a few times a day plus pregame for NFL, NHL and college football (NFL lines from Hard Rock and Pinnacle only). MLB and NBA odds are paused for now.

changed

CFB Team Stats columns now collapse

Offense and Defense on the College Football Team Stats table start collapsed to Points so the whole table fits; click the Offense or Defense header to expand passing and rushing yards.

changed

College Football Team Stats redesigned

Team Stats is now one table for every FBS team: CFP ranking (AP poll until the committee releases its first ranking), win-loss record, spread record overall, at home, on the road, as a favorite and as an underdog, over and under hit rates against Hard Rock closing lines, and offense / defense passing yards, rushing yards and points with a per-game or season-total switch.

changed

College Football gets the NFL look

The College Football site now shares the NFL site theme: dark navigation bar with Game Model / Analysis / Stats & Data menus, a breadcrumb bar, cleaner white panels and tables, and a new footer with database stats and quick links to NFL and MLB.

added

College Football added to the home page

GameDay Analytics now lists College Football alongside MLB, NFL, NBA, WNBA and NHL, linking to cfb.gamedayanalytics.net (Beta).

added

CFB Prop Finder: spreads, moneylines, team totals and game totals

New college football Prop Finder on cfb.gamedayanalytics.net. Pick a market and direction to see every FBS team on this week's slate with its Hard Rock Bet line and hit rates: this season and last 3/5 games against today's line, plus a Close % that grades each past game against its own Hard Rock closing line (back to 2024). Filter by home/away, favorite/underdog, ranked opponent, conference and game.

added

CFB Team Stats: box scores and betting records

New Team Stats page for FBS teams: offense, defense and differential box-score stats (2018 on) with per-game/total and last-3/last-5 views, plus a Betting tab with ATS, over/under, moneyline and team-total records against Hard Rock closing lines.

fixed

Finals lines now showing

WNBA Finals Game 1 Hard Rock lines were captured but not linked to the game; the boards now show the Finals slate. Unplayed If Necessary games were removed from the schedule.

changed

Leaner odds requests

Odds pulls can now be limited to Hard Rock (plus an optional sharp reference line), making frequent line updates far cheaper.

changed

Per-sport odds update schedules

Odds can now refresh on a different schedule for each sport and day of the week, so lines update more often when games are on.

added

Odds API Control Center

A single admin dashboard now controls and tracks odds data pulls across every sport: on/off switches, editable schedules, a monthly usage forecast, and a log of every request.

fixed

More accurate odds usage tracking

Odds data usage is now measured from the provider's own billing figures, and the monthly cycle now correctly resets on the 1st.

fixed

Combo boards stay on today's slate

The WNBA and NBA stat boards no longer show an old June slate when Hard Rock has not posted a combo market for today. The board now stays on the current slate and says the lines are not posted yet.

added

Parlay Ledger: you vs. the average bettor

Parlay Ledger now compares your ROI with what a typical bettor loses on the same mix of parlays and single bets (based on published 2025 sportsbook hold), checks your leg hit rate against a no-edge bettor, and adds a How to win more list of tips drawn from your own file: leg count, same-game pricing, markets beating or losing to their price, over lean, long shots, chasing losses and cash-outs.

changed

Prop Finder shows Hard Rock lines only

Prop Finder on MLB, NFL, NBA and WNBA now uses Hard Rock Bet lines exclusively. Players or props Hard Rock has not posted show no line instead of another sportsbook's number, and the MLB sportsbook picker offers Hard Rock only.

changed

Hard Rock spreads and totals on the WNBA and NBA boards

The Spread, Team total and favorite/underdog tags on the Points, Rebounds, Assists and Combos boards now come from Hard Rock Bet instead of another sportsbook, refreshed hourly on game days.

changed

Boards and profiles show Hard Rock lines only

The Combos board and the Prop Stats tab on player profiles no longer fall back to other sportsbooks. Every prop line on the WNBA and NBA boards and profiles is now Hard Rock Bet's; a market Hard Rock hasn't posted simply shows as empty.

added

Points, Rebounds and Combos boards for WNBA and NBA

Three new boards alongside Assists: Points and Rebounds show Hard Rock Bet lines, and Combos covers Pts + Reb + Ast, Pts + Reb, Pts + Ast and Reb + Ast (Hard Rock first, otherwise the most evenly priced book). Each has recent usage, L5/L10/season hit rates at the current line, game script, opponent rank and line movement. On playoff slates the game-log popup now includes playoff games.

added

Player profiles on WNBA and NBA

Click any player name on the Assists board or Prop Finder to open a full profile: season stats, a sortable game log, career averages, prop history graded against closing lines, and the latest news. Bio details and news come from ESPN.

changed

Assists board fills in on off-days

On days without games, prop lines for the next game day are now pulled in the afternoon, so the WNBA and NBA Assists boards show the upcoming slate instead of the last one.

fixed

Latest WNBA games now count in hit rates

Fixed an overnight data job that could mark the previous night's games as unplayed, which left the most recent game out of hit rates on the Assists board and Prop Finder. The same fix is applied to the NBA site ahead of its season.

changed

NFL and NBA open for beta testing

The NFL and NBA dashboards are now linked from the home page and footer, marked Beta Testing while they are refined.

added

Parlay Ledger

New tool on the MLB and NFL sites: upload your sportsbook All Bets export and get a full breakdown of your parlays — net profit and ROI, leg hit rate vs. the odds you took, how the same picks would have done as straight bets, which markets are beating or losing to their price, the same-game parlay pricing tax, cash-outs and your biggest wins. The file is analyzed entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded or saved.

added

CFB pick grading and live record

Every model pick is now graded (won/lost/push) against the line at prediction time once the game finishes. Predictions pages show per-pick results, and the performance page tracks the running record by edge size against the 52.4% break-even.

changed

CFB predictions: color-coded markets + edge sorting

Totals column group is amber and spread group is blue for quick scanning; clicking a Pick header sorts by edge size, largest first, with sort direction arrows.

changed

CFB predictions: named picks

The predictions table now states the model lean directly — e.g. Stanford +24.5 or Under 50.5 — with the edge and that pick's calibrated probability, instead of raw signed edge columns.

fixed

CFB navigation fix

Site navigation now renders as the standard GDA nav bar with mobile menu and admin shortcut, instead of an unstyled list.

changed

CFB dashboard home + date-browsable predictions

New home page with pipeline stats and upcoming kickoffs; model predictions moved to a dedicated page with a per-date browser including graded past dates.

added

CFB model launch — cfb.gamedayanalytics.net

New college football subdomain with weekly spread and total predictions vs Hard Rock Bet lines, calibrated edge probabilities, line-movement history, a closing-line-value tracker, and a transparent model-vs-market performance scoreboard.

changed

Odds controls extended to all sports

The Odds API on/off switch is now wired for every sport: NFL admin tools respect its switch today, and NBA/NHL will plug into the same system when they launch — each sport can be paused independently at season end.

changed

Smarter off-season health monitoring

System Health now recognizes when a data pipeline is intentionally switched off. Turning off the Odds API or umpire tracker for the off-season no longer floods the dashboard with stale-data warnings — paused tables are shown as informational notes instead, and normal alerting resumes the moment the switch is flipped back on.

fixed

System Health: readable findings table

Error findings now display the originating job name in the object column with the full message in the finding text, and long values wrap cleanly with click-to-expand instead of breaking the table layout.

added

System Health: automatic database onboarding

New sport databases are now detected and monitored automatically by the nightly System Health refresh — no manual registration steps. Dashboard health alerts now carry a sport prefix (e.g. [mlb]) so issues are attributable at a glance.

added

System Health monitoring added to the admin dashboard

A nightly health check now scans the database for recurring sync errors, numeric columns running out of headroom, stale tables, and data anomalies, and surfaces issues on a new System Health page plus an alert banner on the admin dashboard. Designed so future sport databases plug in via configuration only.

changed

Main admin panel: left sidebar navigation + modern chrome

The gamedayanalytics.net admin panel now matches the MLB admin redesign: fixed left sidebar with grouped navigation (Overview, Sports, Content, Operations), a sticky page-title topbar, and a mobile slide-in drawer. All existing pages and links carried over unchanged.

added

New site-wide footer

A redesigned footer now appears across the GameDay Analytics ecosystem with quick links, live database stats (games today, records, sync status), developer info, and a system status bar.

added

Website-wide API data dashboard

New API Data section in the admin shows external-API health across every league at a glance — Odds API quota used/remaining, the last odds pull, request volume, and current props inventory — so you always know where each sport stands.

added

Manual cron runs from the admin dashboard

Each scheduled job on the Cron dashboard now has a Run now button to trigger it on demand and see its output, without waiting for the next scheduled fire.

fixed

Fixed transparent cron run-history popup

The View runs popup on the Cron dashboard had a see-through background; it now renders with a solid panel.

changed

Auto-renewing SSL for freaklabs subdomains

Migrated 10 freaklabs.dev subdomains from the manual wildcard certificate to individual auto-renewing certificates, and added a shared ACME challenge alias so even proxy/redirect subdomains validate automatically.

fixed

Restored site SSL certificate

The MLB site SSL certificate had expired; it has been renewed and automatic renewal restored so the secure connection stays valid going forward.

changed

Cron Dashboard: Odds API now tracked

The cron registry now lists the Odds API prop sync (every 30 min) and the bug-rate-limit cleanup job. Each row also calls out which external API it pulls from (MLB Stats, Baseball Savant, Odds API).

added

Admin Notes / To-Do System

New /admin/notes lets us track ideas, bugs, and features by section (Admin Dashboard, K-Model, Prop Dashboard, etc.) and sport. Comments thread between us. Edit-locks after a task moves past Ready so scope is stable while work is in flight.

added

Admin Cron Dashboard

Added a new /admin/crons page that lists every scheduled job with its frequency, last fire time, and status. Useful for spotting silent sync failures at a glance.

added

Report a Bug

New site-wide bug reporting widget in the nav of every GameDay Analytics property. Click Report a Bug to send a report; supports description, optional email, and an optional screenshot.

added

Admin data audit page

ESPN-style leaderboard validation dashboard added for quick data accuracy checks. Compare batting and pitching leaders side-by-side with ESPN.

changed

Navigation Restructure

Reorganized site navigation into grouped dropdown menus: Stats, Prop Analysis, and Umpire Analysis for easier access to all tools.

changed

Complete visual overhaul — Hardball theme

Redesigned the entire site with the Hardball theme: dark header/footer with warm body sections, rust-red accent color, Space Grotesk display font, JetBrains Mono for stats, sharp 2px corners, and square player photos. Applied across the landing page, MLB app, and admin dashboard.

added

Public Changelog

Added public changelog page with sport filtering.

added

Admin Dashboard

Comprehensive admin backend with sync logs, database stats, and manual sync triggers.
